The Fred Meyer I shop at has raised their prices probably twice as fast as other stores near me. It’s barely cheaper than the Safeway and New Seasons now.

Yeah, same up here. And a lot of the things that made Freddies unique are being eliminated (garden section, automotive, etc) It's becoming just another Kroger.

They should just combine them then. Could call it Freddie Kroger.

Nice to know nothing has changed.

It's part of the charm for sure.

A few FM around had a bar inside of them where you could order a beer. That was awesome, but I think they turned them all into Starbucks'. That's annoying

Kroger is putting more and more bars into their stores from what I've seen. This is the patio and "pub" for the new(ish) Kroger on the Beltline trail here. Place is fantastic and was ironically built on the site of the old store which was known as "Murder Kroger".



Juxtapose that with another Kroger here where you can actually get murdered.

That thing looks like it's home to a mid-level startup

Our original one had the beer bar and Starbucks simultaneously. You could down a few pints, fill a growler for later, and get a triple Americano to "sober up" for the drive home!

The second store they built is way more traditional grocery store.

Ooh, Hawthorne Freddy's peeps are in the house! It used to bother me how often I saw people bring their dogs in. After I saw a dog with its paws up on the olive bar, I Karen'd out and went to the customer service counter to ask what their policy was on dogs in the store. They said "we don't care".

So I started bringing my dog in. He fucking loved it.

Oh yeah, its pretty wild. For reference, here's the before:



And of course the after:

This is fucking hilarious.

I just threw up. Not a little bit. And not in my mouth.

Air travel! Every time I think it can’t get any worse…
It’s going to be an interesting few days of having to travel across the country.

Well needing work mid winter with 4’ of snow on the ground. At least the weather was crap for skiing and I still got my exercise.

[yeahman]

^Ugh. My back aches just looking at that.

Patchouli. Patchouli greatly annoys me. I don't even get it...it actually smells worse than most BO. Is it like Cilantro, where it tastes like soap to some people?

[Ted Striker]

OMG, no kidding. I was just parking my car in front of my parents' house, and a woman that I saw walking their dog several hundred feet away must've been a closet hippie because the patchouli was still lingering in the air.

[tellybele]

Patchouli. it actually smells worse than most BO. ?

I think that is sometimes their goal? Dated a sweet hippie in the early 90s. The sweetness of her BO was unbearable.

[riser4]

Learned early, go for the ones wearing just a hint of sandalwood. They're the ones who also don't like patchouli.

Naw, musk is your huckleberry.

Trying to watch the game and the only stream I can make work is manning cast.

I got a couple Leafs sweaters for xmas. Not feeling the vibe with them, so decide to return. Get a shipping label from the company, and oh look the destination warehouse is only 15 min away. So, in an quest to save someone some time and effort, I decide to just go and drop this off myself. Drive there, takes me a bit to find the right building and door. Ring a buzzer, security guy comes and opens it. I try to give him the package.
"We can't accept these from customers."
"Why not?"
"They have to come from Canada Post."
"Well, where does Canada Post bring them?"
"To the loading dock"
(I can see the loading dock)
"Well, can't you just take this over to the loading dock for me?"
"No, it's not allowed."

On one hand, I don't believe him. On the other, this sounds like something certain managers in my company would do.

I still have this package.
